SUGGESTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

STORING FOOD

�

Store fresh food in the refrigerator compartment. How food is frozen and thawed is an important

factor

in maintaining its freshness and flavor.

Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperatures, such as bananas, pineapples, and

melons.

Allow hot food to cool prior to storing. Placing hot food in the refrigerator could spoil other food and

lead to higher electric bills!

When storing, cover food with vinyl wrap or store in a container with a lid. This prevents moisture from

evaporating and helps food to keep its taste and nutrients.

Do not block air vents with food. Smooth circulation of chilled air keeps refrigerator temperatures

even.

Do not open the door frequently. Opening the door lets warm air enter the refrigerator, causing

temperatures to rise.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

�

Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment - they may break when frozen.

�

Do not refreeze food that has been thawed. This deteriorates taste and nutrition.

�

When storing frozen food like ice cream for a long period, place it on the freezer shelf,

not in the door rack.

�

Avoid storing any food close to the bottom area of the freezer shelf to keep efficient air circulation.

REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

�

Avoid placing moist food deep inside refrigerator shelves, it could freeze upon direct contact

with chilled air.

�

Always clean food prior to refrigeration. Vegetables and fruits should be washed and wiped,

and packed food should be wiped clean to prevent adjacent food from spoiling.

�

When storing eggs in their storage rack, ensure that they are fresh. Always store them in a upright

position, which keeps them fresh longer.

Freezer Door Basket, marked (

) is -12°C compartment, that is suitable for short term

storage of frozen food (optional).

15

It is recomended to load food at least 25mm for type A or 15mm for type B against back of

freezer wall, it will keep good air circulation in the freezer compartment (see page 12).
